Course contents :
|
| Contents:
- I. Modeling of telecommunications systems: estimation theory, low-pass equivalent representation of signals and systems, calculation of noise budget in telecommunications systems
- II. A system view of telecommunications chains: digital modulation, ideal transmission systems for digital communications and inter-symbol interferences modeling, spread-spectrum, GPS basics, multiplex and access techniques to a multiplex signal, telephone traffic theory
- III. Topics related to the physical layer: transmission over a twisted-pair, design of a radio link for terrestrial mobile communications
|
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| This lecture follows the course "Principles of analog and digital telecommunications systems".
The modeling elements of telecommunications systems are exposed.
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- master modelization aspects of a telecommunications system;
- design a transmission system;
- feel confortable with all the aspects of transmission;
- evaluate and predict the performance.
In addition, exercise sessions will help students to integrate theoretical concepts and to apply them. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| ELEN008-0 Principles of analog and digital telecommunications systems (30h+30h) |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The course is based on "ex-cathedra" lectures (30 hours) and practical courses (30 hours).
The "ex-cathedra" lectures describe advanced theoretical concepts involved in telecommunications systems.
The practical courses involve exercise sessions. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Face-to-face. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Oral examination including theoretical and practical questions. |
|
Work placement(s) :
|

|
Organizational remarks :
|
| This course takes place during the first quadrimester. It includes a lecture on theory and training session per week.

| Slides of the course |
| For the 2014-2015 academic year, due to the switch to English, slides of the course will be updated regularly.
There will be no lecture notes in english for this course.
However, note that lecture notes in french for previous years is still available at http://orbi.ulg.ac.be/handle/2268/1765 |
